SUSTAINABILITY AND SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE: AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY EXPLORATION

This research investigates the significant issues confronting supply chain management in Nigeria's industrial sector, including infrastructural inadequacies, power instability, security threats, and quality discrepancies, all of which combined result in operational inefficiencies and heightened costs. The study underscores the increasing significance of sustainable supply chain methods in promoting environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and competitive advantage in the global economy. The research examines essential concepts like Supply Chain Integration (SCI) and Environmental Management Practices (EMP) via an extensive literature analysis, illustrating their considerable influence on organizational performance. The results show that SCI increases operational efficiency, cuts costs, and makes customers happier. On the other hand, adopting EMP improves compliance with regulations, the company's reputation, and long-term financial success. The research utilizes Resource-Based View (RBV) and Stakeholder Theories to examine how companies might use distinctive competencies and stakeholder involvement to attain enduring supply chain excellence. Even while there are advantages, there are still problems with implementation, such as technology limits, cultural hurdles, and discrepancies in measurement, especially when it comes to measuring social sustainability criteria.
